Chapter 94
“With her looks, she could have any man she wants. She could have even married into one of the four prestigious families. But she ended up marrying a cripple. It’s truly baffling.”
“She was a rose in the hands of those who had no intention of keeping her.”
The crowd sighed with pity. But more than that, they were envious. They wished they could take Sebastian’s place instead.
“Dad! I’ve bought you a beautiful painting. It was drawn by a famous painter. I wish you a very happy birthday and that you’ll live a hundred years more.” Ronan and Evelyn presented their gift.
Elijah merely nodded. He really couldn’t bring himself to be happy, especially after catching sight of
Sebastian.
Jamie could read Elijah like an open book and immediately confronted Sebastian, “What are you doing here? Are you trying to embarrass us?”
“It’s because of you that our family is being ridiculed.” Belinda sneered. “We would usually turn a blind eye to you. But it’s Grandpa’s 70th birthday today. Are you deliberately causing trouble for him?”
*Jamie, Belinda, please don’t say that. Sebastian is here to congratulate Grandpa,” Lillian hurriedly explained.

Lucas sneered. “Since you’re here to congratulate him, your gift? Could it be that junk in your
hands?”
Belinda scoffed. “That box looks like ordinary trash. Open it quickly, let’s see what trash you’ve brought.” Everyone was waiting for Sebastian to make a fool out of himself. They knew Sebastian was penniless, and Lillian didn’t have much money either. The gift they bought must be mediocre at best.
Lillian glanced at Sebastian nervously. She didn’t know what he had bought. She regretted not checking beforehand.
“No matter the gift, it’s the intention that matters most,” Lillian piped up.
Belinda rolled her eyes. “Don’t say these hypocritical words. I think you just don’t wish to spend money on Grandpa and bought a piece of junk.”
Lucas laughed mockingly. “Lillian, I’m not trying to mock you. But you refused to marry Mr. Harris and chose this jerk instead. Now you can’t even afford a decent gift. You’ve dug your own grave.
“Since you’re all dying to see it, I’ll satisfy your curiosity.” Sebastian prepared to open the box.
“Alright, stop arguing. Can’t you see where we are? Do you want to make a spectacle for the guests?” Elijah reprimanded in a low voice, his face extremely gloomy.
As for the gift Sebastian held, he didn’t even bother to take a look at it.
“Grandpa!” Just then, Lyra walked in with a man.
The man had an average appearance, but he exuded a strong nura. He wore a brand–name suit and an expensive watch. He looked arrogant with his nose air. Lyra, on the other hand, was beaming with joy,
Elijah noticed the extraordinary aura of the man and hurtedly asked, “Lyrn, who is this?”
Lyra announced proudly, “Allow me to introduce to you. He’s my boyfriend, Jordan Hunter, the second son of the Hunter family!”
Lyra even raised her voice so that it was loud enough for all the guests to hear.
“The Hunter family? As in the rich*st family in Wave City?” Someone asked uncertainly.
Lyra smirked. “That’s right, my boyfriend is the second son of the Hunter family, the rich*st family in Wave
City.”
“Wow, the Hunter family is truly a powerhouse. Even if all four prestigious families combined, they still couldn’t compare to it.”
“That’s right, the Hunter family is influential throughout Dragotha. And I heard they have ties with Lord Wavebreaker. I didn’t expect Ms. Lyra to have the second son of the Hunter family as her boyfriend. She’s amazing.”
“I thought the Smith family was at its wits end. But I didn’t expect them to have ties with the Hunter family. As long as the Hunter family helps them, the Smith family will return to their former glory, or even surpass it.”
The guests were all shocked, while Elijah and his family were ecstatic.
“The Hunter family.” Sebastian’s expression grew complicated at the name. He was not unfamiliar with the Hunter family.
He had only had two girlfriends in his life. The first one was in high school, and the second one was Elsa, the precious daughter of the Hunter family, whom he met at the Border.
